Letters of Lewis Jarvis Found In Wickes Case
A cache of letters under the name Lewis Jarvis believed used by Thomas P. Wickes is in DA Jerome’s hands amid two indictments for attempted blackmail. Wickes appeared unfazed in public and in his office, while authorities consider mail fraud claims tied to Jarvis letters and Box 1 604. Handwriting expert N Carvalho testified in past proceedings, linking Jarvis letters to multiple cases including a damage suit for a woman who sought Wickes’s aid on a contingent-fee arrangement.
